I always arrive at that time. I always take a metered taxi from the taxi stand. I have never not had the driver immediately turn on the meter. There is no traffic on the expressway, so the driver usually speeds straight to town. There will be traffic once the driver gets off the expressway in the city. The meter usually reads just under 300THB when the driver exits the expressway. So, the final rate depends on how far you have to drive in the city to your hotel. For example the Pinncale is close to the off ramp and the cheapest I have paid. I usually end up paying less than 400THB incuding the meter, tip, tolls and the 50 baht over the meter they add.
